The media watchdog, FAIR.org (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting) has the perfect sum up of my media concerns. It encapsulates everything I’ve been trying to say in a couple of paragraphs.

I wanted to reprint it for you and I encourage you to check out their site for more. The media isn’t tough on itself, but FAIR is tough on the media.

From FAIR website (fair.org)

“Independent, aggressive and critical media are essential to an informed democracy. But mainstream media are increasingly cozy with the economic and political powers they should be watchdogging. Mergers in the news industry have accelerated, further limiting the spectrum of viewpoints that have access to mass media. With U.S. media outlets overwhelmingly owned by for-profit conglomerates and supported by corporate advertisers, independent journalism is compromised.

This is a question that will give portrait artists or those that know anatomy a ‘leg up’. Everyone knows how to draw the outline of an ear. But it’s harder to draw the little ‘Y” shaped cartilage within the outer ear. What’s the name of this “Y” shaped cartilage?

IS

The anti helix – the helix is the ridge that surrounds the ear.

I went to a party celebrating the show at the Stoneleigh Hotel here in Dallas. I wrote a short story on the event. A couple of things stand out. Lance, the celebrated gay son was the hit of the party, and in the madness he mentioned that he liked my spanish style shirt/jacket.

AND When I met the man and wife camera crew, I remember the wife wore eye makeup that was a butterfly with each eye part of each wing. The family was at the peak of their popularity then.

The winner was Tim, from Colorado Springs CO It seems the rest of you were not a part of reality.

Last night was a big one for the world. It was the night of the first world orchestra – the Youtube orchestra!

The Youtube orchestra’s first performance was Wednesday night April 15 2009. It’s a big deal and something that should be noted not only in the history books – which it will be – but noted now – when it happens.

Here’s the info from the youtube video:

The world’s first collaborative online orchestra performed at Carnegie Hall on April 15, 2009. Selected by the YouTube community and several members of the world’s most renowned orchestras, the YouTube Symphony Orchestra is made up of over 96 professional and amateur musicians from 30+ countries and territories on six continents and represents 26 different instruments.

I first talked about the Youtube orchestra back in early December in Musea E-mail Club #454. When the London Symphony Orchestra, the orchestra that set this up, got my message they replied,

Hi Tom, thanks so much for doing that. We really appreciate it. This project will only be a success if lots of people take part, and we hope it will continue to be a place where musicians collaborate on performing and teaching across the internet for years to come. Vive la Revolution!All best wishes Jo (LSO admin)
